South Korean police launch player gambling probe
Print Edition
SOUTH Korean police announced Tuesday a formal investigation into match-fixing and illegal gambling by more than two dozen current and former sportsmen, mostly basketball and judo players.
Police said the probe had been triggered by an alleged game-rigging incident in February this year, involving a 29-year-old basketball player — identified only by his surname Kim.
Kim was suspected of helping throw a match by intentionally missing a number of baskets at the request of a fellow gambler and 28-year-old judo player, a police statement said.
Twenty-four other current and retired players — 11 in basketball, 12 in judo and one in wrestling — are also being investigated for alleged gambling on sports fixtures using illegal Internet betting sites, the statement said.
The wagers ranged from just 1 million won (US$830) to hundreds of millions of won.
Local media reported that Kim Seon-hyeong, a star basketball player for the SK Knights, was among those being questioned over illegal gambling and match-fixing.
